20 months

Addison turns 20 months old today. I feel like she is such a big girl. She is using the potty now about four times a day. We're making a lot of progress. I think most of the credit goes to her teacher at school since she is the one who started her on the potty a couple of weeks ago. Since Addison has become more consistent we've carried it over to the weekend and this past weekend was the first she's gone at home. She did great! I couldn't be more proud of her. Hopefully we can be completely done with this by the time the new baby gets here. Next step, the paci. (Wish me luck...)

I think she is starting to understand the baby a little more. She still makes comments that the baby is swimming in my belly. Now she wants to give the baby kisses and hugs all the time. She always wants to lift my shirt up and "touch it". Melts my heart. The cutest thing though has to be her sharing her food with the baby. So far my belly button has been treated to grapes, fruit snacks, marshmallows, and milk. This baby is very well fed.

We had a little photo session this weekend for the Christmas card. The first one is me playing around with the light in the living room. She has that don't mess with me it's too early look on her face that I have in the morning. But she's just so darn cute. The second is one that didn't make the card. Notice how she's standing in the chair. The candy cane was a bribe after taking pictures for an hour with no good ones.


For all of those who get the card, I promise my daughter is a girl. She only looks like a boy that refuses to let me put a bow in her hair. I will be starting early with the hair bows on the new baby girl.
